But the Taliban official, who had made these remarks on the poor quality of Pakistani wheat, was dismissed from his post, reports ANI. But Afghans were seen thanking India on Twitter for the "good quality wheat."
“Wheat donated by Pakistan to Afghanistan. All Pakistani wheat is worn out and spoiled that can not be used. India has always helped Afghanistan and very honestly,” says Najib Farhodis, a human rights activist of Afghanistan.

Last week, the first shipment of 2,500 metric tonnes of wheat sent by India for Afghan people through the land border route as part of a humanitarian aid reached Jalalabad town of Afghanistan. The consignment, which was part of the 50,000 metric tonnes that the Indian government has committed to send to the war-torn country, was dispatched on February 22.
The shipment was sent after the Indian and Pakistani finalised modalities for transporting the wheat via Pakistani land routes after months of negotiations. India first offered to send 50,000 tonnes of wheat via the Attari-Wagah crossing on October 7, and received an initial response from Pakistan on November 24. Since then, the two countries have been engaged in talks on the modalities.
